Next Year In NJ ,ssachusetts.
Boston Herald,

An independent politician figures out s
majority for Cleveland in Massachusetts,
next year. To do this he takes the large
Democratic vote just cast in the state as
the basis from which to begin celcula-
ton. But suppose Mr.. Blaine should
run. Can this calculation insure that s
considerable section of that vote will not
go to his support? And suppose Mr..
Blaine should not run, as seems more
probable. May not the Republicans set
up candidate of the kind TO call some OF
their men home who were driven from
the party by Blsneism? We are not 81
all inclined to hold that the state of
Democratic politics in Massachusetts is
favorable to Democratic success with any
candidate next year, unless it teaches
certain Democratic politicians lesson.
under the effects of which they shsll re-
verse their policy. The Democrats have
need to grow in sound principles. Growth
in numbers without this makes them only
liable to more rebukes like the one they
have lust had.

Reform the Tariff,

Correspondence New York Herald.
Our carpet factories and our Woolen
mills need free wool; our tin factories
need free tin plates; our jute mills need
free jute; all our people need free coal.
Every man who lives in house wants
rec lumber. The Democratic party Is
pledged to reform the tariff. 1t has lost
the protectionist vote. Il cannot hope
to carry Pennsylvania and Ohio in any
case. But if it keeps its promise and
gives US free raw material it will keep
New YORK aud Connecticut and gain Wis
consin and Michigan, and will con-
test Massachusetts with good hope
of success. But if it is in
efficient enough to fail for anothe r
session to carry bill for reducing the
tariff through the House the people will
have no further use for il. Your cor
respondent seems to fear commercial dis
t-ess if the tariff is reduced; but does he
not see that there will certainly be COM
mercial distress if it is not reduced? Let
the surplus continue to accumulate, end
what sort of money market will we have
next September? The difference between
q wise man and fool is this-both make
mistakes, but it is only fool who makes
the same mistake twice.

ALITTLE REBELLION.

The Scotch crofters are busy killing
deer and other game in some of the parks
with view of forcing the owners to put
the land in cultivation. The crofters are
trespassers and law-breakers, but they
are more unfortunate than criminal.
With them it is question of the first
law Of nature asserting itself. They
claim, and with justice, that while they
are starving and their families furnishing,
thousands of acres of fertile soil, capable
of maintaining in comfort and happiness
three times the population, is held by an
absentee lord who uses it as 8 park fol-
his wild deer to Craze in. The crofters
are poor and politically slaves. They
have no representation to speak OF and
are practically without remedy without
resorting to force or other illegal meth
DDS. They are brought face to face
with circumstances which make
mere existence a terrible problem, and
their present violent conduct can easily
be explained if not excused. The sacred
rights of property should be held invio-
late, but at the same time the sacred
rights of humanity are none the less pre-
cious. We must all condemn the viola
ton of law by the crofters, and while
condemning not forget the fearful neces-
slty which drove them to it. When we
consider the rights of human beings, and
weigh them with the rights OF property,
Justice will lead US to this conclusion =:
When the economic conditions of coun-
try are such that the maintenance OF
deer parks is impossible without result
ant suffering to the people, they should
be abolished st any cost. 1t should be
done peacefully, but it should be done.
The fact that some time in the twilight
of history, q rude king told a ruder
henchman that certain strip or section
of country was his, may give good title
to present day owner, who has inherited
it, but when people are starving there is
TO time for argument. The crofters will
likely be punished for their temeritY,
but they will be respected for the effort
thew made.

EVERY interest in Texas demands an
fort to secure more population. Rail
roads, real estate owners, merchants,
hotel keepers and other classes have
made investments based upon growth
Of population. The present depression
throughout the state is largely due to a
falling off in immigration, if not to an
actual loss of population during the past
year. The great need Of Texas is more
people. What is the Texas railroad pool
doing to attract people to Texas ?
What is the lease law doing to re-
tard settlement and deter immigra-
ton? Within itself Texas possesses
every element of attraction to investors
and home-seekers, and it is held back by
influences that should be removed. 1t Is
significant spectacle to watch Califor-
mia excursion trains passing through hun
dreds of miles of Texas territory which
offers more than California does to the
home seeker and Spectator.

LAW RERSUS ANARCHY.

The special kilograms to THE GAZETTE
from San Antonio show an interesting, If
not perplexing state of affairs in that
city, and it is not improbable that in the
near future complications may arise
which will call for the strong arm Of the
state to suppress. The facts are, briefly,
that the saloon keepers have been vioiat-
ing the Sunday law and when arrested
and tried for the offense, the juries Sc
lected take it upon themselves to declare
the law unconstitutional and refuse to
convict, in the face of positive proof fur
nished by the state, and admitted guilt by
the defendants. 1t is claimed that there
is a strong German element in the city
that is opposed to the law, and is deter
mined upon ignoring it. These men
have charge of locsl affairs and control
the machinery of the courts. They be-
lieve that a Sunday law is an unwarrant-
able invasion of their rights, wrong in
principle, unjust and hursfuI in practice,
and contrary to the spirit and letter
of the organic laws of the country
Very many good men and good citizens
have these views, and while the brewers,
beer garden keepers aud saloon men are
the chief opponents and most rabid lead
ers IN the movement, many others VINO

AS Christmas comes this year on Sun

where so many of them have shelter and
care. II has come to be an established Gus

These things constitute in great meas
ure the food and raiment OF the inmstes
Let it not be neglected this year, but
please send to the undersigned the names
of one in each church and community
who will distribute Christmas sacks, and
the number of sacks that should be sent.
But it is also agreed that as Christmas
day will be Sunday it should be made in
q special sense Orphans Home day.
The plan is for every church and Sun
day-school to hold special service, with
songs, sermons, prayers and talks in the
interest OF the Orphans II Jme, and that
collection be taken IN each meeting With
the understanding that every cent OF IL
will be appropriated to the main building,

| Contributions made by churches will be
credited to the church or congregation as
may be desired, ana contributions by
SundaY-schools to the schools or children

NEW YoRK's delegation in the national
Legislature, according to our kilograms,
threatens to dictate to the country in the
matter of selecting doorkeeper. Two
things are apparent: There is too much
power in the doorkeeper's hands and toe
much patronage at his disposal, and the
statesmen of the country have too little
to do, when the petty squabole over the
selection of q doorkeeper is considered
tantsmount to sill else. The country
would prefer less doorkeeper talk and
more tariff and public land discussion.

BUCKyER,S ORPHANS HOME.

BUCRNER'S ORPHANS' HUME.
In another column of The GAZETTE
will be found al appeal to the good and
charitable people of Texas, from 1.-The
management of Buckner's Orphans Home,
located at Dallas. Contributions are
asked for as Christmas offerings and,
when we take the character CT the insti-
tuition into consideration and the good
work 1t is performing in taking care OF
dependent orphan children, people will
be more ready to give freely toward its
support. While the expenses OF the in
stitution are quite considerable, owing to
the large number of the inmates, it should
be remembered that very little from
esch will suffice. Christmas being
time of good cheer and gen
eral rejoicing, when homes are
Frightened by the assembling OF
families around the hearthstone. it lie
meet and proper that We should not for
get the wants and comforts of those who
have been deprived of their natural pro-
tectors and who, without our assistance,
must be consigned to the cold charities
of the world. The system of organized
charity instituted by the Buckn.r's Or
phans' Home is worthy OF eDcouregemen MT
and support. 1t is something that sp-
peals directly to the best feelings OF hu-
manity. The fate of those children who
are being cared for at this institution may
